Pakistani karahi, lahori fish, naan, and BBQ
Butt Karahi
Don't let the name put you off — this place is genuinely excellent. Authentic Pakistani food with real depth of flavour. The malay chicken (similar to butter chicken but spicier and more complex) is delicious, the lahori fish is crispy and perfectly seasoned, and the naan is proper.
What to Order
The malay chicken is the standout — bold, spicy, and really well made. The lahori fish is also excellent. Get the naan to go with everything.
Must Try
Lahori fish — crispy, perfectly spiced, and unlike most fried fish you'll find at a halal spot.
The Verdict
Really authentic Pakistani food and one of the better spots in the city for it. Similar to Lahore Tikka House in terms of price and quality. Be prepared to wait — it's always busy, and the food is worth it. Just note it's spicier than most, so if your spice tolerance is low, come prepared.
